The fix has been in CVS since a few hours after 0.65 was released. 0.66
is due to release shortly (it may have already, but I haven't looked
back for a few hours).

The DB mirror is no longer specified in a text file but with an
undocumented directive in the clamav.conf file. (It might be in the PDF; I
didn't see it in any of the man pages.)

# undocumented in 0.66, gleaned from freshclam source
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net

A fresh install should also install a new config
file .../etc/freshclam.conf that contains that config line.

If freshclam finds that file, it will use it, else it looks for
those directives in the clamav.conf file.

Ah, I adapted an SRPM for 0.65, so it didn't know about the new file. I'll
have to check with the packager to see if he's updated his RPM.
